.. so maybe Major Somerton - Rayner acquired it through the old boys network!
Lol, of that you can be certain!

The facilites in London are pathetic when you look at the number of heliports/helipads dotted around Manhattan, both on piers and on buildings.
I was banging on about this earlier in the thread but, there just doesn't seem to be the impetus in the UK to do anything about it.

I believe that new business could be cultivated as a direct result of improving access to different parts of London (by helicopter) and would like to see 4 or 5 public-use helipads between Kew Bridge and the Thames Barrier with a return to a floating barge to serve the City. But, I am being told that pigs might fly first!
